ABRAHAM BRENOWITZ, OF NEWV YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO KESNER & 00., OF SAME PLACE.

FRAME FOR SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application filed March 26. 1890.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM BRENowITz, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frames forPockets,of which the following is a specification.

My invention has reference to improvements in frames for pockets and the like, and

especially to such frames as are inserted in cloaks or other articles of apparel.

It consists, essentially, in a frame ,of the character specified, in which one of the hinged jaws is provided with an exterior groove or I 5 channel and the other with an interior groove or channel, whereby the insertion of the frame into the fabric is facilitated. One of the jaws is preferably made smaller than the other, so as to fall within the same when the frame is closed, thereby bringing the respective grooves or channels into approximately the same plane, all of which is more fully pointed out in the following specification and claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a face view of the frame. Fig. 2 is a section in the plane a: 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a face view of a frame provided with a safety-loop. Fig. t is a section in the plane y y, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a face view showing the frame applied to the fabric. Fig. 6 is a section in the plane 2 .2, Fig. 5.

Similarletters indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letters A B designate being constructed to fall within or beneath the jaw A when closed. The jaw A is provided with an exterior channel or groove a, extending throughout the same, and the jaw B is provided with alike interior channel or groove 1).

In Figs. 5 and 6 I have shown the frame secured in place-for instance, in a cloak 0, being the fabric proper, and D the material of the pocket. The flaps c and cl, formed by the incision for the mouth of the pocket, are secured in the jaw B, the jaw A being secured in the main part of the fabric.

It will be noticed that by the peculiar con POCKETS.

struction of the frame it is necessary to make only the proper incision in the material, whereupon the frame can be inserted without folding over the edge of the material, as is necessary when the jaws abut against each other and the grooves are both on the interior sides of the jaws.

To look the frame, I make use of a metallic ball E, supported by an arm 6, secured to the jaw A, which ball is adapted to overlap the rounded outer edge of the jaw B. A suitable. stop, as f, on the jaw B, which is arranged to strike against the jaw A, limits the inward motion of the former.

\Vhen the frame is to be used for a watchpocket, Iprovide the lower jaw B with a pendent loop F, hinged to said jaw at g g, and provided with an interior groove or channel n, into which the material of the flap is also secured. The loop being hinged, it can yield when the jaw B is opened and the watch inserted or removed.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a frame of the character specified, the jaws A and B, hinged together, the one provided with an exterior groove or channel and the other with an interior groove or channel, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

'2. In aframe of the character specified, two jaws A and B, hinged together, the jaw A containing an exterior groove or channel, and the jaw B an interior groove or channel, said jaw B being smaller than the jaw A, and adapted to fall within the same to bring its groove or channel into substantially the same plane with the groove or channel of the jaw A, substantially as described.

3. In a frame of the character specified, the combination of the hinged jaws A B, the jaw B being smaller than the other and arranged to fall within the same, the jaw A containing an exterior groove or channel and the jaw B an interior groove or channel, and the loop F, hinged to the jaw B and containing a groove or channel arranged to be continuous with the groove or channel in the jaw B, substantially as described.

4:. In a frame of the character specified, the

hinged jaws A B, one provided with an exterior groove 01' channel and the other with an interior groove 01' channel, the jaw B being smaller than the jaw A and constructed to fall within the same to bring the two grooves 01' channels into substantially the same plane, a stop f, and means for locking the jaws, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention Ihave slgned my name, in pres- 10 once of two witnesses, this 25th day of March,
